Nut upsuser - Nov 2017 - Have any FreeBSD users tried the new libusb-1.0 branch?

On Fedora 27, running commit 2999c95f0:

# nut-scanner
Cannot load USB library (/usr/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0) :  
/usr/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0: undefined symbol: usb_get_string_simple. USB  
search disabled.

There's also a bug in the configure script on 64 bit Fedora. The configure  
script sets systemdsystemshutdowndir to /usr/lib64/systemd/systemd-shutdown  
which misses the mark, a little bit. The fix:

 if test -n "${systemdsystemunitdir}"; then
-	systemdsystemshutdowndir="${libdir}/systemd/system-shutdown"
+	systemdsystemshutdowndir="`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=systemdshutdowndir
systemd`"

This experiment also coincides with the delivery and installation of my new  
Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCD. Slightly hampered by the nut-scanner problem, I  
grabbed the USB ids from lsusb.

It came up without any issues:

Thanks for checking this. I should have been more clear in the second email in
the thread, but commit 2999c95f0 is on the original "libusb-1.0"
branch, which had a bunch of half-duplicated commits and other junk on it. There
is now a "libusb-1.0+0.1" branch with all of that cleaned up.
Originally just at https://github.com/zykh/nut.git, it is now on
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut with a few additions (currently at
revision 80bc452cc).

Although I suspect that the USB portion of nut-scanner could probably be
replaced with a small shell script that parses the output of lsusb, this
shouldn't be too hard to fix. Logged, in case it is not as simple as it
looks: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/499

Agreed - looks like we will have that after a merge from master:

I don't currently have a physical Fedora test system, but can you see if
this works at least as well as it did prior to the libusb-1.0 branch? (I have a
few kludges in my tree to make this work on a Raspberry Pi, but they are not
ready to push.)
